It’s Thanksgiving, and before we close up the OMT offices for the day, we thought it would be a nice idea to bring you coverage of President Obama’s traditional turkey pardon, which he performed yesterday, along with Sasha and Malia. So here’s eight minutes of raw video (preceded by a 15-second ad) provided by [...]

“Here is my attitude: I think people passing a law against people wearing sagging pants is a waste of time. We should be focused on creating jobs, improving our schools, health care, dealing with the war in Iraq, and anybody, any public official, that is worrying about sagging pants probably needs to spend some time [...]

Perhaps it’s some kind of indication of how little Americans respect their political institutions. Or it could be that most Americans these days have little understanding of the role of government in the affairs of this nation. Maybe it’s just that the road to America’s decline has taken a sharp, downward turn just [...]

Bill Kristol sure has come a long way from When Harry Met Sally.
(OK, we’ve been wanting to squeeze that in for years, and so now it’s out of the way and we can get on with things).
When speaking about Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Ft. Hood shooter, Kristol took Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano [...]

In Sarah Palin’s upcoming memoir, Going Rogue, she writes that if she and Hillary Clinton were ever to meet for coffee that “I know that we would fundamentally disagree on many issues. But my hat is off to her hard work on the 2008 campaign trail”.

Well, it’s Friday (the 13th, no less), and here at OMT, we’re gearing up for what looks as though it might be the second red-letter weekend in a row, weatherwise, and we’re looking to get out of the newsroom early.

Gary Wisniewski, ex-Pittsburgher and best friend of OMT who now spends his days in Melbourne, Australia, sent us this link to an article in The Atlantic the other day, which hits hard on a topic that has been close to home for us for a number of years now. Like us, Gary has spent [...]

Fear has a most fascinating ability to purge the human mind of all traces of reason. Last week’s Ft. Hood tragedy, which conservatives are now spinning as something of a “9/11 Lite”, is a case in point. Perpetrated by a Muslim army psychiatrist who was apparently unable to diagnose his own madness, Muslims [...]

Dr. Jeremy Morris, the British epidemiologist who was the first to correlate the relationship between aerobic exercise and cardiac health has died just 6 months shy of his 100th birthday. The cause of death was pneumonia and kidney failure. His heart kept beating strongly right up until the end, strengthened no doubt by [...]

In the “How Time Flies” department, John Lennon would have been 69 years old today. His son Sean, born on John’s 35th birthday and a pop star in his own right, is celebrating his 34th. Yoko, incredibly, is 76 and still going strong, still a very active artist, and regularly in the news. [...]
